Going for Gold: the Mathematics of Sporting Glory - Amandine Aftalion

Amandine Aftalion
Further Information

What is the best way to run to win a race? Why does a sprinter slow down before the finish line? Why do you swim better slightly underwater? Why, on a bike, the faster you go, the more stable you are?

Amandine Aftalion is a mathematician and a senior scientist at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS). She specialises in modelling based on low temperature physics alongside writing on a range of sports culminating in her book 'Be a Champion, 40 facts you didn't know about sports and science'.

Please email @email to register to attend in person.

The lecture will be broadcast on the Oxford Mathematics YouTube Channel on Thursday 16 October at 5-6pm and any time after (no need to register for the online version).
